How Do You Make Steamed Spinach?

Question

I read that making spinach steamed is the most healthiest way for cooking. How do you make the spinach steamed? Like what do you do? Tell me the steps. Thanks.

I get the spinach from a can if that helps.

Answer 1

There are so many ways of having spinach....

1. Don't buy it in a can
2. Buy baby spinach leaves (english spinach), wash and use instead of lettuce in a salad or under a serve of small baked vegetable. No cooking so the healthiest way of eating it.
3. Buy normal spinach, cut off the stem, right up the triangle section in the leaf, then slice into large strips, place in a saucepan with just a touch of butter and fry lightly until just cooked. Again, very little cooking and no boiling means you get all the goodness.
4. Again the spinach trimmed, then put in a steamer. This takes only a couple of minutes, serve with some mashed potatoe and gravy for a truly yum dish.

Enjoy!!

How To Steam Spinach

Answer 4

Spinach from a can is already so mushy there's not much you can do with it, if you want to steam it, you will have to buy it fresh:

STEAMED SPINACH

Clean a couple bundles of spinach. Break the stems off and throw them away so just the leaves are left. Steam the spinach until it wilts but not until its completely mushy. Drain the spinach. Squeeze the juice of a good lemon on the spinach. Cover the spinach with about 1/3 cup of chopped up walnuts or almonds. Serve in a bowl.

Answer 5

Spinach from a can is already cooked, and already much less nutritious. Just buy a big bag of pre-cleaned (triple washed) fresh spinach. Heat a little water (1/4 cup or so) in a pan, throw the spinach in, and heat for about a minute with the pan lid on. Viola! Steamed spinach.

Answer 7

I read all the responses, and agree with using fresh spinach. As far as steamers go, Tupperware has an AWESOME one that has the bottom part that you put the water in, the basket part with holes on the bottom, and a lid. It fits great into the microwave and you can steam any type of veggie in it. I believe it originally came with guidelines for how long to steam certain items but I've had mine several years and have lost the guidelines. It's really a good product and can probably be found on their website.

Answer 8

Take fresh spinach leaves. Wash it well with plain tap water. Shake off excess water, but do not dry. Put spinach leaves in a pot and cover with lid. Heat over low heat on the stove. Check every 3 minutes or so and give it a stir. Remove when it is done enough for you. The water clinging to the leaves after washing is enough to steam it. You really don't need a steamer. You just need to be careful to use low heat and stir occasionally so it doesn't burn.

Answer 9

Wash & drain the spinach leaves first, they get sandy.
Then you put them in a steamer & cook until tender.
A steamer is like a double boiler but with holes.
The idea is to have water boiling in the bottom.
And some kind of rack holding the spinach leaves.
The Chinese make steamers out of bamboo.
Check your local market or cooking store.
Steaming preserves the green colour & vitamins.
